1. Common Preparation Methods
The production of Pure Zinc Plated
Brass Wire involves a multi-step process to ensure uniform zinc coating and
optimal performance. First, high-quality brass wire undergoes thorough cleaning
to remove surface impurities, including degreasing, acid pickling, and rinsing.
This pretreatment is critical for achieving strong adhesion between the brass
substrate and zinc layer. The cleaned wire is then immersed in an electrolytic
bath containing a zinc sulfate or cyanide-based solution. Through
electroplating, a controlled current density (typically 2–4 A/dm²) is applied
to deposit a pure zinc layer onto the brass surface, with thickness adjusted
based on application requirements (typically 5–15 μm). Post-plating, the wire
undergoes passivation treatment to enhance corrosion resistance, often using
chromate or non-chromate solutions. Finally, the coated wire is dried and
subjected to annealing at 200–300°C to improve ductility and stabilize the zinc
layer. Advanced manufacturers employ continuous production lines with real-time
monitoring systems to ensure coating uniformity, minimal porosity, and
consistent mechanical properties. The process prioritizes environmental
compliance, utilizing closed-loop systems to recycle electrolytes and reduce waste.
